BG shuttle - ride queues by the time we arrive?

Hannah · 18 Nov 18, 10:22 AM

I've bought a Discovery Cove ticket which includes BG. Wasn't planning on going there but week b as it was included i might. I won't be driving so will be taking the free shuttle. We are going second half August. I assume we won't get there until mid morning so will there be massive ride queues by then? If there are not sure if will be worth it. Thanks!

You get there at around 10am and a lot of the park doesn't open until then. The only thing that has a Q at that time is Cheetah Hunt. Park will be quiet in second half of August.

Well worth the trip - we always go on the free shuttle.

We went in August stayed overnight there and both days the queues were minimal
Can I ask where the free shuttle goes from and where the info is please, we weren�t going to go this year as we decided not to get a car but if there is a free shuttle might be a go 😀

We used this last year and the queues were minimal when we arrived. I think Cheeta Hunt was 15 minutes. The shuttle left at around 5pm for us but it will depend on park hours.

We went on a Sunday a week ago, expecting it to be busy with it being a weekend, national holiday, as well as Busch Gardens giving free entry to veterans on veterans day. It was fine and needn't have worried. Some rides had short queues, especially the newer rides like Cheetah Hunt and Cobra's Curse but otherwise the park was much nicer than Disney which was manic! I'd imagine if you went at a week day it'd be walk on for most rides.

We went towards the end of July and queues were long . We ended up buying fastpasses . Lots of the rides were shut during the day due to inclement weather . We complained and got fastpasses free for another day .
We used the shuttle there and back . Return time was 7pm .
Tip get the ribs for lunch / early dinner plenty to share between 2
We really enjoyed the park .
